Blizzard Hiring for Potentially New Overwatch Project

Seeking an artist with "knowledge and understanding of the Overwatch universe."

By Alex Osborn

If a new job posting by Blizzard is any indication, the studio might be working on a new project related to Overwatch.

According to a listing on the official Blizzard careers website, the company is looking to hire a generalist artist intern to "help create a wide range of assets" for "an unannounced project."

Under the "Recommended Talents" section on the job description, it lists "knowledge and understanding of the Overwatch universe," suggesting this new project is in some way related to Blizzard's wildly popular hero shooter.

IGN has reached out to Blizzard for comment and will update this story if we receive a response.

Today marks the start of Overwatch's Halloween Terror event, which brings with it a number of new holiday-themed skins, as well as two PvE brawls. In addition to the return Junkenstein's Revenge, Overwatch players can now dive into the new Junkenstein Endless brawl mode, which features a different lineup of heroes.

The Halloween Terror event will run until November 2, concluding one day before BlizzCon 2017, which will take place in Anaheim, CA from from November 3-4. Check out the full BlizzCon event schedule for an overview of what to expect from this year's convention.
